Hi
I am having problems with the Cancel command to do the simple task. The
problem
can be replicated as follows:
m={{.3,.7},{.4,.6}}
i=IdentityMatrix[2]
j={{1},{1}}
inv=Inverse[lambda i - m]
Cancel[Factor[inv.j]]
The last command should cancel the common factors, but it does not!
Any help on that.
Thank you.
John.
